- Barbara Rosenblit, educator and collaborator
Working with Nancy was a dream. She tutored both of our kids in Hebrew for many years, and when the time came for B’nai Mitzvah, Nancy helped us build a service for each of them. Not only did she help them learn all the prayers and their Torah readings, but she also worked with each child according to their personalities to help them make meaning and determine which parts of the service meant the most to them. I cannot overstate the positive impact that Nancy has had on our lives, and our family will be forever grateful.
-Cari Newman, parent
Nancy led the education programs at my synagogue. The programs were well run and inclusive. Nancy is super approachable and has a wealth of knowledge. She supports the parents learning along with the kids by creating an environment open and accepting to all who want to build Jewish literacy.
I have also worked with Nancy in private tutoring where she taught me Hebrew for several months. She is a very encouraging guide and always takes the time to pepper in additional points of learning.
